On Friday it was reported that the Vice President’s secretary Katie Miller tested positive for coronavirus so he decided to skip in-person meetings this weekend. According to an administration official Pence plans to be at the White House on Monday because today he tested negative for coronavirus.

“Vice President Pence will continue to follow the advice of the White House Medical Unit and is not in quarantine. Additionally, Vice President Pence has tested negative every single day and plans to be at the White House tomorrow,” said Devin O’Malley, a Pence spokesman.

Another positive test among Trump's team

Also on Friday it was reported that an additional person tested positive and later it was confirmed that it was one of President Trump’s military valets. These two cases in the White House come when President Trump is pushing the governors from all the states to end the quarantine period and reopen the economy and public schools.

As of Sunday afternoon, 77,034 people had died from complications of Covid-19 in the United States and 1.27 million tested positive, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention website.
